How to turn you own photo into something like this!?

Recommended Posts

Is there a prog that can turn your own photo into something like this?

 

Bit of a noob when it comes to this shit so any advice would be appreciated. Also are there any good progs out there that can make your own personal photos look a bit more impressive for things like myspace.com etc?

 

Cheers for any help :D

I used the GIMP to make this from a photo of me. It's not exactly like you asked for but it's sort of similar. With a bit of playing it may get closer.

Did this in Photoshop:

The procedure:

 

Change image to Grayscale.

Use Posterize and Cutout.

Change image back to RGB colour.

Use brush tool (set to colour) and paint on top of image.

 

The original:

Adjust 'No. of Levels' and 'Edge Simplicity'.

 

If Edge Simplicity is set too high i.e. 10, it will make the image pretty much disappear.

Odwin, how did you do that?

Bit weirdly:

 

Open up a photo.

Use the Artistic > Photocopy filter with a high mask radius to greyify everything.

Use 'colour to alpha' and select white as the colour.

Create a white layer and place it under the original.

Set the mode of the original layer to multiply.

Create Transparent layers between the white and the original. Anything drawn on these layers will 'colour in' the original pic.

The rest was just selective blurring and smudging.

Leonardo leads...

i don't understand.

donatello does machines?

 

oh, they are artists....that's right. can't believe i remembered, my brother used to watch that all the time. i guess some of it rubbed off!

 

u guys are too good at photoshop or whatever the other one is. i am still confused about using a url to put the picture in without getting IMG or whatever.

I think that first image has actually been done with nothing but the 'Chalk and Charcoal' filter in Photoshop CS2.

You can also do it in Macromedia Flash. file - import (choose the file) the you select the picture ) modify - trace bitmap. Choose whatever sensitivity you want, and then convert. You can easely change some of the colors with painting bucket.

It's an acquired taste I think. It's good to go through some tutorials just to know how certain tings work. It's what I did anyway.
